How to Make a Kydex Knife Sheath
First you need to mark out how much kydex you need
You then need to cut the kydex, I cut it with a hacksaw
You then need to drill holes for the rivets or eyelets
You then need to insert the eyelets or rivets( whichever one you are useing)
Then you need to take a heat gun or hair dryer and heat the kydex and when it starts to get floppy you insert the knife
You then put it in a jig. The jig is pretty self explanatory.
You then shape it with a bench grinder and you can cut off the big pieces with a hacksaw, you can then add a bevel with a belt sander.
This is a neck knife so I added an eyelet for the string
And now your sheath is done! Feel free to comment.
